I’m booked in tomorrow
Covid hit right when I was due for a mop-chop and since I'm customer-facing I got a little panicky so had a really nice trimmer with guards shipped out. I haven't been to a barber since and frankly, I think I do a better job. My wife has to even out the back of my neck though.
I've had 3 since covid. Finally had a chance to grow it past the awkward stages and reluctant to give it up now.
Keep it long! But a mantainance trim is always good to prevent split ends and breakage, it helps the hair stay healthier for longer.
Maintenance trim was the last haircut. Going to make those a little more regular after the difference I noticed.
I knew trimming split ends was a thing but didn't know the difference first hand until then.
I'm probably going to take the scissors to the long chunks again. I end up looking like the first day practice dummy at a barber school, but at least my hair doesn't touch my ears anymore.
I have to book the next appointment immediately after getting my hair cut and put it on Google calendar otherwise I won't get it done for half a year, mostly when my wife complains at me enough.
Trading haircuts with my spouse saves a lotta dough.

An unofficial chapter of the popular Dull Men's Club.
1. Relevant commentary on your own dull life. Posts should be about your own dull, lived experience. This is our most important rule. Direct questions, random thoughts, comment baiting, advice seeking, many uses of "discuss" rarely comply with this rule.
2. Original, Fresh, Meaningful Content.
3. Avoid repetitive topics.
4. This is not a search engine
Use a search engine, a tradesperson, Reddit, friends, a specialist Facebook group, apps, Wikipedia, an AI chat, a reverse image search etc. to answer simple questions or identify objects. Also see rule 1, “comment baiting”.
There are a number of content specific communities with subject matter experts who can help you.
Some other communities to consider before posting:
5. Keep it dull. If it puts us to sleep, it’s on the right track. Examples of likely not dull: jokes, gross stuff (including toes), politics, religion, royalty, illness or injury, killing things for fun, or promotional content. Feel free to post these elsewhere.
6. No hate speech, sexism, or bullying No sexism, hate speech, degrading or excessively foul language, or other harmful language. No othering or dehumanizing of anyone or negativity towards any gender identity.
7. Proofread before posting. Use good grammar and punctuation. Avoid useless phrases. Some examples: - starting a post with "So" - starting a post with pointless phrases, like "I hope this is allowed" or “this is my first post” Only share good quality, cropped images. Do not share screenshots of images; share the original image.
